Market Research on Soy-Based Chemicals Market 2016 and Analysis to 2026

Tuesday, April 26th, 2016 - Future Market Insights

The extensive consumption of fossil fuels result in increasing carbon dioxide emissions. As a result of this, there is need to harness the potential of bio-based products. Therefore, the use of bio-based chemicals is expected to grow during the forecast period. The chemicals derived from soybean are a reliable alternative to traditional petroleum and crude derived chemicals and ensure sustainability and reduced carbon footprints. Traditionally, soy chemicals have been used in a variety of applications across a diverse set of industries. The most common soybean derivatives are soy-milk and soy-oil. Soy-milk and soybeans are widely used in food industries owing to their high nutrient content. Soy-oil is used as a vegetable oil as well as to derive the chemicals such as polyols, is of lavones and waxes among the others. The chemicals derived from soy-oil have wide applications such as in production of biodiesel, bio-degradable plastics, soaps etc. These Soy-based chemicals find application across diverse industries including cosmetics, paper, food & beverages, plastic &polymer etc.

Global Soy-Based ChemicalsMarket: Drivers and Restraints

The increasing awareness as regards the benefits involved in use of bio-based products and environmental regulations are major factors that are expected to drive the growth of global Soy-Based Chemicals Market during the forecast period. The increasing demand for biodegradable plastics derived from soy-based chemical is slated to drive the growth of global Soy-Based Chemicals market during the forecast period. Relatively better performance of soy-based chemicals over some of the traditional chemicals is expected to drive the growth of global market for soy-based chemicals over the forecast period. The increasing demand for soybean from traditional applications such as in food industry is expected to affect the supply of the same for production of chemicals, thus acting as an impediment to the growth of soy-based chemicals market during the forecast period
